Frequently Asked Questions.What is the difference between "Enriched" White Breads and Sprouted Food for Life Breads?"Enriched" White Breads are made from the starchy "endosperm" of the wheat kernel (the inside portion), which contains few vitamins and minerals (mostly carbohydrates). The milling of grain into white flour requires the removal of the bran and the germ. During this process, important natural fiber and bran are lost (including 21 vitamins and minerals). 5 vitamins and minerals (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, calcium and folic acid) are added back into the flour and are thus, called "enriched". By contrast, Food for Life sprouted breads are made from freshly sprouted grains, which contain all of the fiber, bran, vitamins and minerals of the original grain plus a sizeable increase in those nutrients.

How can Food for Life make bread without flour?They start with whole, certified organically grown grains, beans and seeds, and sprout them in water. Then, they take the freshly sprouted live grains and slowly mash them, mix them into dough in small batches and slowly bake into bread.

Are Food for Life sprouted grain foods "gluten free"?No. Food for Life breads contain naturally occurring gluten. However, their unique sprouting process activates enzymes, which naturally metabolize starch, carbohydrates and gluten protein. This may explain why so many gluten sensitive people may tolerate sprouted grains.

What does the term: "certified organically grown" mean when referring to the grains in Food for Life foods?"Certified organically grown" assures you the grains have been grown and processed without the use of spray fertilizers, chemicals or pesticides and the land (where the grains were grown), has not been sprayed for at least 3 years (including current year's harvest). Certified organically grown grains are 3rd party verified by certifying agencies National Organic Program (NOP).

The Sprouted Grain Difference. Sprouted for Life!Cooking classes on how to sprout and bake with your own seeds and grains are on the rise. Stories on the nutritional benefits of sprouting are popping up all over the web. And natural foods grocers are carving out more shelf space for sprouted grain and seed-based products than ever before.

Why? Because more and more people are finding out that the only way to unlock the vital benefits people expect from grains is to sprout them first. Here are some benefits you’ll get from sprouted grains:

Increased Digestibility - Sprouting breaks down starches in grains into simple sugars so your body can digest them easily.

Increased Antioxidants – Sprouting releases more antioxidants that are naturally stored in the grains and seeds.

Increased Vitamin C - Sprouting produces vitamin C.

Increased Vitamin B - Sprouting increases the vitamin B2, B5 & B6

In addition to all the vital benefits you’ll receive from spouted foods, they at Food for Life, craft their food to promise you even more integrity.

They use only freshly sprouted certified organic live grains.

Their products are kosher.

They use absolutely no flour. Studies have shown that grinding grains into flour increases the surface area upon which enzymes in the body can work to more quickly convert starch into glucose.

They don't use any genetically modified organisms (GMO’s)

They don't use refined sugars. When sugar is refined and processed there are many harmful ingredients that are added to the sugar as a result. Instead, they use malted barley, a natural sweetener produced from sprouted barley, which is basically a carbohydrate comprised mostly of complex carbohydrates rather than the "sugar" carbohydrates.

They don’t use anything artificial – no preservatives or shortenings.

They use a unique slow-bake process to preserve the natural fiber and bran benefits of grains.
